4.6a The Global Covenant of Mayors requires committed cities to report their inventories in the format of the new Common Reporting Framework, to encourage standard reporting of emissions data. Please provide a breakdown of your city-wide emissions by sector and sub-sector in the table below. Where emissions data is not available, please use the relevant notation keys to explain the reason why.
Question dependencies
This question is presented to cities committed to the Global Covenant of Mayors, or cities who have responded ‘I have attached my inventory in the SCATTER output format and will report my emissions in the CRF format (4.6a)’ to 4.5.
If your city uses version 2.4 of the City Inventory Reporting and Information System (CIRIS) excel-based tool or Clearpath for managing and reporting city GHG inventory data you can import your emissions data in Question 4.6a, further guidance on how to import can be accessed here.

Response Options
Please complete the following table:
| Sectors and sub-sectors | Direct emissions (metric tonnes CO2e) | If you have no direct emissions to report, please select a notation key to explain why | Indirect emissions from the use of grid-supplied electricity, heat, steam and/or cooling (metric tonnes CO2e) | If you have no indirect emissions to report, please select a notation key to explain why | Emissions occurring outside the city boundary as a result of in-city activities (metric tonnes CO2e) | If you have no emissions occurring outside the city boundary to report as a result of in-city activities, please select a notation key to explain why | Please explain any excluded sources, identify any emissions covered under an ETS and provide any other comments |

GCoM Common Reporting Framework
Cities will also be asked to report their summary emissions data in the format of the new Common Reporting Framework (CRF), to encourage standard reporting of emissions data.
Emission sources
Local governments shall report GHG emissions from at least three main sectors, namely stationary energy, transportation, and waste. Additionally, local governments shall report GHG emissions from energy generation activities, but to avoid double counting, these shall not form part of the GHG emissions inventory total. Local governments shall consider all categories of emission sources and report all emissions that are significant. Exclusion of emission sources shall be disclosed and justified.
Notation Keys
Notation keys may be used to accommodate limitations in data availability and differences in emission sources between local governments. Where notation keys are used, an accompanying explanation shall be provided.
The following are the descriptions on how to use the notation keys:
- “NO” (not occurring): An activity or process does not occur or exist within the city. This notation key may also be used for insignificant sources.
- "IE” (included elsewhere): GHG emissions for this activity are estimated and presented in another category in the same inventory, stating where it is added. This notation key may be used where it is difficult to disaggregate data into multiple sub-sectors. A justification must be provided when using this notation and you must also indicate in which subsector the emissions were integrated.
- “NE” (not estimated): GHG emissions occur but have not been estimated or reported, with a justification why. This notation is not allowed for mandatory sectors (even if a justification is provided). You should provide a rough estimate (i.e. downscale emissions from national data based on population) or use the notation key "NO" if these emissions are considered insignificant.
- "C” (confidential): GHG emissions which could lead to the disclosure of confidential information, and as such are not reported publicly.
